THE  VULCAN  COMPANY,  DETROIT,  MICHIGAN. 


INTRODUCTORY  AND  GENERAL  INFORMATION. 


E  BEG  to  present  to  you  this  new  Catalog  showing  a  well  assorted 
line  of  ornate  and  Plain  Architectural  Metal  Work,  Fences,  Gates, 
etc.,  etc.,  which  will  prove  of  interest  to  the  Architect,  Contractor 
and  Builder,  and  while  this  issue  is  quite  complete  in  its  general 
variety  of  metal  work  used  about  buildings,  it  but  little  more  than 
suggests  the  unlimited  possibilities  in  this  field. 


Where  regular  styles  of  work  fail  to  entirely  please,  we  are  always  ready 
to  submit  special  original  sketches  and  prices  upon  receipt  of  guiding  sugges¬ 
tions  and  comments. 


We  especially  solicit  plans  and  specifications  as  prepared  by  architects. 
Estimates  will  be  carefully  made  and  promptly  submitted. 

All  our  work  is  made  in  a  conscientious  and  painstaking  manner,  accurate 
as  to  measurement  and  arranged  and  marked  so  it  can  readily  be  assembled 
and  set  in  place  on  arrival  at  destination. 


Where  the  buyer  is  unfamiliar  with  this  line  of  work,  we  make  special 
effort  to  give  him  the  benefit  of  our  experience  by  conserving  his  interest  as 
to  style  and  price. 

It  is  a  difficult  matter  to  quote  close  prices  by  catalog  and  discount,  on 
account  of  the  greatly  varying  conditions  governing  most  of  the  work  herein 
shown,  but  such  prices  as  we  have  quoted  will  serve  to  give  buyers  a  fair  idea 
of  the  relative  value  of  the  different  styles  shown,  and  we  ask  that  full  particu¬ 
lars  be  submitted  to  us,  upon  receipt  of  which  we  will  quote  a  close  net  price. 

When  writing  for  prices,  refer  to  DESIGN  NUMBER  to  be  found  under 
each  illustration.  This  will  suffice  to  denote  style  desired.  Please  do  not  cut 
pages  out  of  catalog,  but  keep  it  for  future  use. 

Nearly  all  our  products  are  made  to  order,  and  customers  should  order 
sufficiently  early  to  allow  for  the  reasonable  time  necessary  to  construct  the 
work  properly.

sketches  upon  receipt  of  such  particulars  as  will  enable  us  to  figure  understandingly 
in  each  case.  When  writing  for  prices  make  a  rough  pencil  sketch  showing  an  out¬ 
line  of  the  work  desired.  State  length  of  balconies,  height  from  floor  to  floor, 
height  from  top  floor  to  roof,  and  from  grade  to  second  floor.  Explain  about  water 
tables,  conductor  pipes,  window  sills  and  caps,  cornice  and  other  projections  from 
wall  line  (if  any  there  be)  that  will  need  clearance.  State  what  kind  of  a  building 
the  escape  is  intended  for,  kind  and  thickness  of  wall  where  bracket  shanks  go 
through,  and  whether  nut  and  washer  shall  be  obscured  or  exposed  on  inside  of 
wall.  Let  us  know  whether  work  is  simply  for  utility,  or  ornamentation  a  desired 
feature.  Other  minor  details  can  be  brought  out  in  correspondence. 

We  can  place  any  of  the  more  ornate  railings  illustrated  on  escape  balconies, 
where  artistic  appearance  is  desired;  or  we  will,  upon  request,  prepare  special 
sketches  elaborating  particular  work  wanted,  upon  receipt  of  guiding  suggestions 
All  our  escapes  are  constructed  in  a  first-class,  substantial  manner,  and  arc 
set  up  and  fitted  complete  in  our  factory,  'i  he  wprk  is  then  taken  apart  in  flat 
sections  so  as  to  ship  at  low  freight  r;itcs  to  any  part  of  the  country.  We  give 
full  instructions  for  putting  up  our  escapes,  and  constructions  have  features  of 
adjustment  at  all  possible  points,  so  that  practical  variations  in  walls  may  be 
overcome,  and  no  skilled  help  required  in  its  erection. 

All  work  is  given  one  coat  good  paint  in  our  shops,  and  should  receive  at  least 
another  coat  after  erection.  And  we  urge  upon  our  patrons  the  economy  of  keep¬ 
ing  ALL  exposed  architectural  metal  work  well  painted  continuously.  How  fre¬ 
quently  we  sec  cosily  metal  work  on  buildings  actually  becoming  ruined  on  account 
of  this  neglect — especially  is  this  so  when  work  is  located  in  alleys  or  other 
obscure  places. 

We  can  make  any  style  or  construction  of  escape  that  may  be  necessary  to  meet 
State  or  municipal  requirements,  and  estimates  will  be  promptly  made. 


We  have  shipped  hundreds  of  Fire  Escapes  all  over  the  U.  S.  and 
our  customers  have  frequently  commented  on  the  simplicity  and  ease  in 
erecting  our  escapes.  We  make  this  a  study;  put  all  the  work  together 
in  shop,  and  mark  it  plainly,  so  you  will  positively, have  no  trouble  in 
erecting  by  following  a  few  simple  directions.  The  features  of  adjust¬ 
ment  given  the  work  under  our  methods  allow  for  the  greatest  practical 
variations  in  setting  the  various  parts.  This  point  can  be  more  fully 
explained  when  we  have  particulars  in  each  case.

The  device  shown  in  the  accompanying  engraving  is  an  appliance  in  which  every  person  owning 
or  having  charge  of  a  horse  should  be  interested.  Its  object  is  to  cleanse  oats  from  dust  and  other 
impurities,  which  cannot  be  reached  by  the  use  of  a  hand-sieve  or  fanning  mill.  If  owners  of  horses 
knew  how  much  dust  and  other  impurities,  equally  injurious,  their  horses  swallow  at  every  feed  of 
ordinary  oats,  they  would  lost  no  time  in  ordering  this  useful  invention.  This  v  leaner  will  remove  a 
bushel  of  dust,  dirt  and  impurities  from  every  twenty-five  or  thirty  bushels  of  the  best  white  oats.  A 
horse  cats  about  half  a  bushel  of  oats  per  day,  or  nearly  200  bushels  per  year.  He  thus  chokes  down 
about  eight  bushels  of  dust  and  impurities,  unless  this  has  been  removed  by  the  process  here  illus¬ 
trated.  It  is  no  wonder  that  so  many  horses  contract  heaves, •'consumption  and*  other  diseases,  -when 
they  so  often  have  poison  doled  out  to  them  every  day.  Owners  therefore  should  gladly  welcome 
any  device  which  tends  to  render  their  horses  more  comfortable  and  more  free  from  disease.  This  is 
not  only  humane  but  it  is  by  far  the  most  economical  way.

each  illustration,  and  we  will  understand. 

2.  State  what  size  pickets  or  uprights  are  desired  in  the  fence. 

3.  State  what  height  fence  you  desire. 

4.  Make  a  plan  of  how  fence  will  set,  giving  lengths  as  near  as  you  can. 

5.  State  if  the  ground  is  practically  level  or  if  there  are  any  steep  pitches  or  inclines  in  run  of  fence, 
giving  length  of  part  affected. 

6.  Show  approximate  location  of  single  walk  and  double  drive  gates. 

7.  On  enclosures  for  parks,  cemeteries,  public  grounds,  etc.,  state  if  you  intend  to  use  large  stone  or 
other  lithic  posts,  to  be  constructed  at  home. 

8.  State  if  all  or  any  of  the  fence  will  set  on  wall  or  coping,  or  if  posts  are  to  be  set  into  the  ground.

MATERIALS  USED  IN  OUR  WROUGHT  IRON  FENCES  AND  GATES. 

Our  picket  fences  are  made  of  wrought  iron  throughout.  The  horizontal  rails  are  of  ample  size  to 
form  a  rigid  and  substantial  fence.  The  bottom  rail  is  ANGLE,  and  we  call  particular  attention  t'o  this 
feature,  as  it  forms  a  much  stiller  or  rigid  fence  than  the  ordinary  channel  rails  used  by  others. 

Pickets  are  firmly  secured  into  rails,  and  can  terminate  at  bottom  rail  or  extend  through  bottom  rail, 
whichever  you  prefer. 

We  furnish  “line  posts”  or  “intermediate  posts”  for  all  our  fences.  These  posts  are  fitted  with 
foundations  to  set  into  ground,  or  with  fittings  for  stone  coping,  and  have  lateral  braces  of  ample  size. 
These  “line  posts”  are  set  from  7  to  8  feet  apart,  and  we  furnish  connecting  clamps  and  all  necessary  bolts. 

All  work  is  fitted  at  shop,  and  carefully  numbered  and  marked,  and  we  send  with  shipment  a  memo, 
of  all  parts  shipped  and  an  erecting  diagram,  so  that  no  skilled  help  is  required  to  set  the  w>ork  at  destina¬ 
tion.  We  lay  great  stress  on  the  simplicity  and  convenience  in  erecting  our  fences. 

All  work  is  painted  one  coat  of  black  at  factory,  but  as  the  work  is  apt  to  be  marred  in  shipping 
and  erecting,  we  suggest  that  it  be  repainted  after  erection  with  good  metallic  paint. 

Our  ornamental  wrought  iron  Entrance  Gates  are  executed  in  a  thoroughly  workmanlike  manner, 
forged  scroll  work  is  of  an  artistic  character  and  shows  the  handmarks  of  skill  and  a  conscientious  effort 
to  please. 

All  our  work  is  delivered  free  on  board  cars  at  factory,  and  we  generally  quote  prices  with  allow¬ 
ances  for  freight  to  destination. 

We  guarantee  first  class  substantial  work,  and  our  special  net  prices  quoted  only  on  receipt  of  par¬ 
ticulars,  will  be  found  reasonable.  We  do  not  make  cheap,  light  or  flimsy  work,  but  aim  to  make  work 
that  will  give  permanent  satisfaction  and  which  will  be  creditable  to  the  purchasers. 


ORDERING  FENCES. 

In  correspondence  concerning  fences,  it  is  generally  sufficient  to  state  letter  and  number  of  the  design, 
[do  not  cut  it  out  of  catalogue]  size  and  height  of  pickets,  grades — if  they  are  steep,  number  of  large 
posts,  single  and  double  gates.  A  diagram  similar  to  the  following  should  also  be  sent: 


Measurements  for  square  or  rectangular  lots  should  be  over  all  on  the  two  unequal  sides,  showing  location  and 
width  of  gates  and  grades,  by  diagram.  / 

When  not  otherwise  specified,  single  gates  are  made  for  42-inch  opening,  and  double  gates  10-foot  opening. 


131 


THE  VULCAN  COMPANY,  DETROIT,  MICHIGAN. 


The  above  illustrations  show  how  “LINE  POSTS’’  are  generally  set.  These  line  posts  are  set  at 
intervals  of  about  8  feet  and  are  secured  to  horizontal  rails  with  heavy  clips  and  bolts  passing  through 
slotted  holes.  They  are  constructed  in  conformity  with  style!  of  fence  ordered,  so  the  entire  line  of 
fence  presents  uniform  appearance. 

Illustration  “A”  shows  line  post  fitted  to  coping.  Fence  setting  in  center  of  coping.  Illustration 
“B”  shows  line  post  fitted  for  coping.  Fence  setting  near  outer  edge  of  coping.  Illustration  “C”  shows 
cast  foundation  attached  to  line  post,  to  be  set  into  soil  or  concrete.  Illustration  “D”  shows  line  post 
with  extension  to  set  into  concrete  usually  36  inches  deep.  All  line  posts  are  provided  with  adjustable 
back  braces  as  illustrated. 

We  furnish  everything  complete  ready  to  set  fence  in  place  and  send  erecting  diagram  and  instructions 
with  shipment.

Wrought  Iron  Fence  and  Gate. 

Above  illustration  is  intended  to  give  purchasers  a  better  idea  of  how  our  fences  are  constructed. 

We  have  various  patterns  of  large  cast  posts  to  be  used  at  corners,  ends  and  gates.  These  cast  posts 
vary  in  design  and  weight  to  suit  the  height  and  weight  of  fence.  Posts  have  extensions  to  set  into 
ground  or  concrete. 

We  also  show  line  posts,  which  occur  in  fence  at  intervals  of  about  8  feet.  These  line  posts  are 
made  in  conformity  to  fence  pattern  and  do  not  break  the  continuous  fence  line.  They  are  fitted  with 
cast  foundations  and  adjustable  braces. 

Always  send  particulars  when  writing  for  net  prices.  See  general  description  on  pages  130  and  131.

TESTIMONIALS 


The  Vulcan  Company, 

Dear  Sirs — Herewith,  we  enclose  New  York 
Exchange,  which  covers  your  charge  of  Jan. 
11th  for  pair  of  vault  doors. 

Mr.  Sawtell  had  to  leave  the  city  before 
the  arrival  of  the  shipment,  and  so  we  have 
not  had  an  expression  from  the  purchaser  as 
to  his  opinion  of  the  doors.  In  justice  to  good 
workmanship  however,  we  desire  to  compli¬ 
ment  you  on  their  handsome  appearance,  and 
feel  confident  that  they  will  merit  Mr.  Saw- 
t ell’s  praise  when  he  has  seen  them.  The 
contractors  tell  us  that  the  fit  and  adjustment 
were  perfect. 

Yours  very  truly, 

Atlanta,  Ga..  J.  M.  Alexander  &  Co. 

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — Please  accept  our  sincere  thanks

bronze  work  for  the  Dr.  F.  A.  Stevens’  vault, 
which  we  have  erected  in  Roselawn  Cemetery, 
St.  Paul. 

The  work  is  first-class  in  every  respect, 
and  we  can  assure  you  that  we  will  not  for¬ 
get  you  in  the  future,  when  we  have  another 
job  of  this  kind.

The  bronze  doors  arrived  O.  K.  and  I  am

several  architects  look  at  them,  it  might  lead 
to  other  orders.

as  we  can  see  is  perfectly  satisfactory  in  every 
way  and  we  are  well-pleased.  We  have  no 
other  work  on  which  we  wish  prices,  just

The  Vulcan  Company,

pleasant  and  highly  satisfactory  relationship 
which  existed  throughout  all  my  transactions 
with  your  valuable  firm.

me  even  to  the  minutest  detail  in  the  work,

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — Replying  to  your  communica¬ 
tion  of  the  24th  ult.  We  are  pleased  to  say, 
that  the  gates  which  you  recently  furnished 
for  the  entrance  of  St.  Rose’s  Cemetery,  Car- 
bondale,  Penn., — approximate  cost  of  stone 
work  for  same  being  $7,000.00 — your  work 
harmonizes  well  with  such  an  expensive  en¬ 
trance,  as  the  gates  were  executed  from  our 
special  design  in  a  workmanlike  manner,  and 
the  grill  work  is  symmetrical  with  graceful 
curves.  The  carved  ornamental  wreaths  and 
torches  are  well  done,  and  we  call  these  gates 
first-class  work  in  every  respect,  and  will  have 
no  hesitancy  in  recommending  you. 

Yours  very  truly, 

Scranton,  Pa.  Carlucci  Stone  Company. 

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — The  bronze  door  you  sent  me 
is  very  satisfactory,  my  customer  was  much 
pleased  with  it,  I  don’t  see  how  it  could  be 
made  any  stronger  or  better,  or  how  it  could 
be  improved  upon  in  any  way,  please  accept 
my  thanks,  and  check  enclosed  to  pay  for 
same.  Yours  very  truly, 

New  Haven,  Conn.  Geo.  W.  Okell. 

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — Your  advice  of  Sept.  21st  to 
to  hand.  On  account  of  delay  in  filling  order 
for  marble,  it  will  be  some  weeks  before  vault 
is  completed,  but  as  soon  as  possible  I  will 
follow  out  your  wishes  in  reference  to  photo 
and  testimonials.  I  might  state  that  on  in¬ 
specting  the  gates,  they  prove  to  be  verv  satis¬ 
factory  and  should  we  have  any  further 
work  in  your  line,  I  will  be  only  too  glad  to 
consult  with  you.  Yours  very  truly,

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — Enclosed  find  check  for  pay¬ 
ment  in  full  for  the  entire  bronze  work  you 
furnished  us  for  the  Fries  Mausoleum. 

We  wish  to  say  that  the  bronze  work  for 
this  mausoleum  was  very  satisfactory.  The 
frames  for  the  16  dome  windows  fit  nicely 
and  the  ornamental  forged  grills  for  the  side 
windows  are  fine.  We  also  wish  to  make  a 
special  mention  of  the  double  door.  They 
are  a  high-grade  of  workmanship  and  fit  per¬ 
fect,  and  had  no  trouble  to  hang  them  with 
the  hinges  you  furnished.  Our  man  who  hung 
them  said  “they  are  the  best  fitting  bronze 
doors  I  ever  saw.” 

We  mail  von  under  another  cover  a  photo 
of  the  Mausoleum.  Please  acknowledge  re¬ 
ceipt  of  check  and  oblige.

The  Vulcan  Company, 

Gentlemen — Enclosed  find  check  for  the 
amount  of  your  bill.  The  work  is  entirely 
satisfactory,  in  fact,  of  the  five  vaults  we  have 
recently  erected  the  bronze  in  this  job  is  far 
superior  to  any  of  the  others  and  we  find  it  un¬ 
necessary  to  send  to  New  York  for  such  work. 
We  are  especially  pleased  with  the  winter 
closers  to  the  doors,  which  slide  up  and  down. 
While  they  are  perfectly  tight  whether  open 
or  closed  they  work  very  easy,  and  the  de¬ 
vice  you  have  for  holding  them  up  is  very 
simple  and  secure.  We  assure  you  the  work 
is  more  than  satisfactory  and  we  take  pleasure 
in  enclosing  our  check  for  the  amount. 

Yours  very  truly,

yond  what  I  had  anticipated  it  would  be;  it 
is  just  simply  all  right.  We  are  figuring  on 
some  more  work  and  if  we  are  successful  in 
getting  it  you  will  surely  hear  from  us,  on 
the  bronze.  Respectfully  yours,

very  often  we  can  say  that,  in  the  past  we 
had  a  good  deal  of  trouble  in  getting  any 
work  of  this  character,  there  was  always 
something  wrong  either  in  workmanship  or 
finishing  of  same,  however,  in  the  future  we 
will  know  where  to  go  to. 

Yours  truly.

reached  us  and  are  very  satisfactory.  We

photograph  showing  iron  doors  for  vault.

advantage,  to  show  the  doors  and  throws  them 
in  the  position  that  you  describe  but  they 
don’t  show  near  so  well  as  he  wav  I  had  them 
taken.  Hope  thev  will  be  satisfactory.  The
